Wyoming, Yellowstone & Montana, Wild Wild West
This is the rugged and authentic Wild Wild West, the Rocky Mountains with its peaks, the hilly prairies of Montana, Big Sky Country, the largest National Park of the United States and receding glaciers.
This is wilderness with zero trace of civilization for miles and miles and breathtaking nature. It is like being in the movie by Robert Redford: “A River Runs Through It”.
A land of cowboys, rodeos, ranches and wooden lodges where you will find a Far West atmosphere: large armchairs, fabrics with tiles and Indian motifs, wood stoves, and leather stools.
A rich fauna and flora, 1,500 native plant varieties in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, elk, grizzly bears, black bears, bison, wolves, coyotes, eagles, bighorn sheep, osprey can be spotted and photographed.
Active geothermal activities with geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and steam vents.
Glacier National Park: vast, sublime and wild with meadows covered with wildflowers during the spring, and bears emerging from months of hibernation.
Jackson Hole: nestled in a western Wyoming valley, Jackson Hole is an ideal place where to start your trip and get acquainted.
Walk through Jackson’s elk antler arches.
Ride the gondola. The 12 minute ride in a safe and private gondola cabin whisks you over 2,700 vertical feet above the valley floor.
A visit of the National Museum of Wildlife Art is also a must. Perched above the National Elk Refuge and two miles from the Grand Teton National Park entrance, the National Museum of Wildlife Art features more than 5,000 items of animal art.
In winter, it is a mecca for winter sports.
Grand Teton National Park: Tall and proud mountains, serene lakes with deep blue pools, and glaciers. The wild Snake River descends through the park in a rush of water and the dense forests provide habitat for a vast array of fauna and flora. Enjoy the serenity of these majestic granite mountains.
Yellowstone: This is an iconic park! We recommend splitting your stay between the lake side and the Mammoth Hot Springs area. You could spend a week to fully explore all the natural wonders. You will be taken to another planet when viewing the Petrified Forest. You will be bewildered by the concentration of geothermal phenomena: geysers, fumaroles, and lava flows. Everything is spectacular: rivers, waterfalls , a unique biodiversity and an incredible fauna: black bears, grizzly bears, coyotes, wolves, elks and herds of bison seeming to emerge from the mist. It is often called the Serengeti of North America!
Glacier National Park
This is one of the most unspoiled and wild parks in the country. Standing like the spiers of a Gothic cathedral above windy meadows, its jagged ridges and peaks carved by glaciers overlook aquamarine lakes and meadows dotted with wild flowers. You will enter grizzly bears, Mackenzie wolves or white-tailed deer territory. You could drive a superb road, considered one of the most scenic in the country and poetically called Going-to-the-sun-road, that will offer unique panoramas made of sparkling lakes, snow-capped peaks, and vertiginous glaciers.
Explore its natural wonder: geysers that burst with huge streams of boiling water, the Grand Tetons peaks that rise straight up, vast clear lakes and amazing fauna
Discover a rich and vibrant culture: Jackson Hole and its elk antler arches, step into Native American tribe’s history, American pioneers, and rodeos.
In Cody, visit the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and its remarkable Indian artifacts and cultural exhibits on top of course, of Buffalo Bill himself, founder of Cody and a world-renowned showman.
For active travels: fly fishing, horseback riding, hiking, archery, canoeing, mountain biking, skiing, dog-sledding, heli-skiing adventure, and snowmobile tours
